When Light Fades - Episode Guide

Amid Thailand's political turmoil in the 1970s, passionate university student Ravin flees into the jungle to evade pursuit and joins a secret organization of the Communist Party. There, he meets the mysterious and cold Yue — and receives a new name: Saeng, meaning "dawn light."

Rawin is given the new name Saeng, and begins his harsh training and life at the base. He is assigned to the Military Unit, and through danger and crisis, the distance between him and Yue quietly begins to close.

After joining the combat unit, Saeng steps into a storm of gunfire and pulls the trigger for the first time. Amid the chaos of battle, he also feels Yue's unwavering protection for the first time.

Saeng gives a cockscomb flower to Yue, only to unexpectedly learn its flirtatious meaning: "I want to get to know you." Under the starlit sky, Yue finally confesses his feelings to Saeng.

Comrade Ploeng tragically sacrifices himself after falling into an ambush. Yue is consumed by guilt over his death, and finally admits that Saeng is the person he wants to protect.

As a hostage exchange fuels even deeper suspicion, Yue and Saeng's love becomes even more precious amid the chaos consuming the base.
